The AAC would be amazing. Playing Cinci, Houston, Memphis, SMU, UCF....but yeah that couldn't compare to the puds like WIU, USD and ISUB. Can't give up those epic games.
NDSU to the Big 12 is inevitable. Only thing that messes it up is impatiently taking a lesser conference. It’s science.

Just purely based on FCS what can the bison do that would make you feel like an accomplishment? What is it you think we still have to prove at the FCS level that would raise our stature?
We already won 5 in row- would have back to back and multiple undefeated seasons- would have one real loss in the last 9 years to JMU which we kind of revenged. would be 34-1 in the playoffs, had multiple 33 game win streaks. so maybe for me its destroying JMU in playoff game? but that's about it.
Hell yeah!!! A ranked team right off the bat!! Thanks Daycare!!!Quote:

yeah, okay, lol.
New goal post every day with these guys. There are LEGITIMATE hurdles and concerns about FBS, no one is denying that. Its just hilarious that the anti-vaxers, er i meant anti-FBS'ers will come up with next. According to them, there are literally NO benefits of FBS and any FBS school who doesnt move down is insane because PLAYOFFS!
Exhausting really. There are so many things worth considering on both sides, but the level of ignorance to be Anti or even pro FBS "at all costs" is astounding.
Same for FBS crowd. Exact same. Different opinions are ok and I honestly DGAF what anyone thinks of mine and obviously that's vice versa.Quote:

can we agree playing a ranked team at home would not be a "legitimate hurdle?", at least PL.?Quote:

You are the photo negative of lakes, who believes that there are literally NO hurdles, or possible negative outcomes.Quote:

Ahhhhhh I wouldnt think so.......But I might not be understanding your question? My question to you is---why would that be a hurdle?Quote:

Navy is also only an AAC football membah, playing all other sports in the Patriot League...so a precedent has been set for that in that regard.
No, but he did say that in all of your many posts on the subject you’ve never acknowledged one benefit. A streak you’ve continued by dodging his question in your last post lolQuote:

Oh wait thats three.
Can’t wait to play Toledo on a Tuesday night in November.

Using the Mac as a stepping stone would be ok for a couple seasons.
Nothing says college football like Tuesday afternoon tailgating.Quote:

I just don't see that happening IMO. P5 conferences are fairly stable now. P5 already has autonomy. No major benefits to going to 16 team super-conferences. The BXII could potentially expand, but now you can have conference championships with less than 10 teams, they have no real reason to now. The only shake-ups I see happening are G5 conferences.Quote:

Isn't the sec looking at expansion?Quote:
